The Grand Theatre
is proud to present the world premiere of an original rock musical, A Wall Apart,
Aug. 15 through Sept. 7. The musical is presented in a more intimate setting as
part of the theatre’s Backstage series, with audience members sitting on stage
with the actors.
With scars from
one war, three brothers in East Berlin face another battle as the Berlin Wall
divides their city. As the brothers strive to find their way, three generations
of family ties, brotherhood, love, marriage and parenthood are tested. What is
the price of liberty? Will the wall divide or unite this family?
The Grand Theatre performances
feature the New York Musical Festival production team, with music and lyrics by
Lord Graham Russell of Air Supply. The
musical is based on a book
by Sam Goldstein and Craig Clyde and comes to the stage to commemorate the 30th
anniversary of the destruction of the Berlin Wall.
